Shipping and Insurance

Skelton Tomkinson is a world leader in roll-on/roll-off (RoRo) and break bulk over-dimensional shipping and integrated freight logistics. Whether you have a single machine to move or need a whole vessel chartered for a large shipment, Skelton Tomkinson can organise it for you.

Moving heavy equipment around the world is routine for us, and our 'hands on' approach means we actively coordinate with the shipper to ensure your cargo makes a rapid, safe transit. We have close relationships with major RoRo and break bulk carriers.

Your cargo's integrity comes first and we work closely with the carrier to ensure your cargo is stowed correctly and delivered without damage.

Our team is conversant with all makes and models of heavy equipment as well as their dimensions and weights - we have the expertise to provide you an innovative solution.

Skelton Tomkinson provides specialist marine insurance for the transport of heavy machinery around the world. In conjunction with our underwriters, we can provide you customised insurance cover and the most competitive premiums available anywhere.

Our marine insurance service is available through our Customer Centre - allowing you to insure your cargo without any delay. In fact, using this service it's possible for you to print your Marine Insurance Certificate out in your own office in a matter of minutes.

This knowledge, combined with our proprietary in-house software, means we can give you a shipping quotation and marine insurance on the spot as well as advise you on the best way to prepare any machine for shipment.

You simply cannot get this level of specialist and personalised service from a general cargo freight forwarder.
